DREAM-LAND  
BY a route obscure and lonely,  
Haunted by ill angels only,  
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,  
On a black throne reigns upright,  
I have reached these lands but newly  
From an ultimate dim Thule--  
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,  
Out of SPACE--out of TIME.  
Bottomless vales and boundless floods,  
And chasms, and caves, and Titian woods,  
With forms that no man can discover  
For the dews that drip all over;  
Mountains toppling evermore  
Into seas without a shore;  
Seas that restlessly aspire,  
Surging, unto skies of fire;  
Lakes that endlessly outspread  
Their lone waters--lone and dead,--  
Their still waters--still and chilly  
With the snows of the lolling lily.  
By the lakes that thus outspread  
Their lone waters, lone and dead,--
